The data are presented on the genetic restriction of interaction between humoral factors and intact thymocytes during the formation of T-cell effectors GVH from thymus cells. The source of humoral factors was a cultural medium from combined cultivation of macrophages and syngeneic thymocytes during 18 h. The intensity of the local GVH reaction was evaluated by the index of the lymph nodes enlargement. Genes of the H-2 system control interaction of mediators with thymocytes during the formation of T-cell effectors. H-2 region genes identity of supernatant generative cells and intact thymocytes was necessary for the effective induction of T-effectors GVH. I and D region differences did not affect the formation of T-cells inducing GVH.
